UNDERSTAND THE COLOUR PSYCHOLOGY OF BLUE
Choosing blue to cure the January blues…Seems unusual right? It is exactly what you should do though! The choice of colors in and around your everyday surroundings can profoundly impact and influence your behavior, emotions, and perceptions. Picking the right colors in your home’s interiors is a powerful tool to instigate a desired emotional response, both from you and from the people visiting your place. Cool-tone colors such as blues and greens tend to evoke feelings of calmness and tranquility.
Think of the feeling you get when admiring the boundless sky or the gentle waves caressing the seashore. Cleanliness, calmness, and grandeur are all embodied by the color blue. It’s a tint that can calm us down and help us feel at peace instantaneously. In addition, blue is also a color with a long-standing history of being connected with royalty! Depending on the intensity of the tone, Blue is a shade that can be equal parts soothing and uplifting, all at the same time! Adding a touch of it to your interior through our interesting vases collection, scatter pillows or ottomans may even give it a regal air of splendor and encourage you to live out loud!
RIDE THE RUSTIC WAVE
Think about being in the middle of the forest, in a chalet with a warmly lit fire. Channel rustic charm by incorporating light tones, from neutral-colored walls, washed out
velvet fabric sofas in dusky blues to natural looking
lighter finished wood paired with
rattan textures that create a charming aesthetic. Opt for nature-inspired printed upholstery and pair it with lighter wood finishes for a perfect country meets palace feel!
OVERPLAY BLUES
Dramatic, brooding blues give every room more charm and lend a cozy inviting vibe. When combined with warmer-toned metals like brass accents such as our
Seattle Wall Sconces, a deep blue-tone
upholstered bed in our
Gir Cobalt cotton-linen blend fabric provides a sense of richness and elegance to your bedroom. With expansive collections in strikingly bright and dense blue tone attars, such as our
Shikaar Bagh,
Palace Bagh, or
Aaram Bagh Collection that feature a range of complementary bold blue motifs through decorative cushions,
wallpapers, and even
upholstery options; your home can be bestowed with a larger than life feel of grandeur, regality and understated luxury.
PAIR WITH WOOD
Decorating with
blue-tone wood finishes will give your interiors a timeless appeal and provide you the opportunity to design a huge spectrum of elegant spaces. Decorating with blue helps yield settings that are spectacular and energizing as well as relaxing and restorative because of the wide range of tones that are accessible, from
powdery sky blue tints to
bright turquoises. Harmonizing two or more of these shades in the right amounts gives you a pairing that always seems new and refreshing!
If you are one with a penchant for nautical panoramas, our inky blue finishes can bestow a statement of poise and stately sophistication to your interiors. Pull some oceanic blues in your home office with our
Malabar Hill Study Desk in Ocean Finish for a pragmatic but imaginative space or add our majestic
Lawrence Chest of Drawers as a vanity in your coastal-inspired bedroom. The deep blue tone on natural wood hence emulates both a pristine calmness as well as an elevated rustic look for your creativity to flow.
AN OCEAN OF TEXTURES
Each texture brings something different to a room, finding the textures for you is key as it brings a slice of your personality to your space. Incorporating a variety of textures will give the
décor some depth and bring the overall feel of the room together. An easy way to include more textures in your décor is by adding some
velvet cushions and
rugs alongside decor accessories such as
glass vases to give your room some character, or a pair of statement
signature printed armchairs with contrasting
throw pillows for the ultimate chic look. Add these accessories in proportions with shades of blue too.
Live Out Loud and give your home or business a reinvigorate, taking your mind off the distant memories of the festive season and yet celebrating life every day. We hope this blog has inspired you to give your interior space a refresh that vibes with your charm and personality.
